Weird talk author drags the diary

Chapter 656: Barrel Man Yu Liang's Hiding Place
I saw the cuckoo heron on the cruise ship, and just like last time, I was the only one who could see it.

Yu Liang looked at the bloody hole on Li Xiang's back, then observed Li Huachao who was also beside him, and remained silent.

People who are targeted by the cuckoo and build nests with it basically have no way to survive. The cuckoo is a special creature that lives between reality and illusion. The logic of its existence is not in the current timeline at all, but in the future.

After establishing a connection with it, the heat from its body will be continuously transmitted to the future cuckoo. As a human, it will be dragged to death sooner or later. I am afraid that even a physical warrior like Li Huachao will not be able to resist this special power.

Fortunately, Yu Liang was very clear about the attack intervals of the cuckoo, and he also knew that if he solved this strange story, he would have related memories in his mind.

After being nested by a cuckoo, a normal person should be able to survive for a while. As long as the cuckoo's "past state" is put into a warm cage before the cuckoo chooses its next target, this strange story can be successfully solved.

but……

Why is there a strange story about the cuckoo bird on this cruise ship?

Yu Liang didn't have time to think about it, and whispered to Li Huachao beside him: "Once you board the cruise ship, you may encounter strange events, right? What kind of strange events have you encountered?"

Li Huachao looked back at Yu Liang and replied casually, "Vegetative state or something. The tourists who lived on the thirteenth floor inexplicably showed signs of plants and were short of water. They asked me to help them find a water source."

"..." Yu Liang felt vaguely that this seemed somewhat familiar. After a careful search of his memory, he finally remembered it.

vegetative.

This is still a strange story that happened in the zoo. It happened in the dormitory building. It should have been a strange story that was solved by Xue Wubin at that time, but now it happened to Li Huachao.

However, Li Huachao seemed to have been playing hide-and-seek with the skeleton dormitory manager at that time, and might not have paid much attention to the vegetative people on the first floor of Building No. 2.

"So how did you solve it?" Yu Liang asked cautiously. He had already sensed that something was wrong with the cruise ship, but he couldn't be sure yet.

Li Huachao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. I gave them water when they wanted it. I wanted to go into the room to help them fix the water pipes, but they actually wanted to trap me in there to replace them. How could I tolerate that? I directly connected the water pipes in their room to the sea, and they drank the sea water to their heart's content. I went back to see it in two days, and all the tourists on the first floor were gone."

Yu Liang: "..."

OK, OK, it turns out to be the living devil that I know.

"Is there anyone raising birds on this cruise ship?" Yu Liang asked.

"Raising birds? I'm not sure. It seems that some older tourists keep birds? I may have seen it, but I don't have any impression." Li Huachao shook his head, not quite sure.

The crew member in front, Li Xiang, seemed to have heard Yu Liang's words. He turned around and responded with a smile: "Do you raise birds? Mr. Yu Liang is also a bird lover? It seems that you will have a lot in common with our first mate Mr. 002."

"002?" This familiar naming method immediately reminded Yu Liang of the members of the strategy team from the ghost story "Humanity".

Strategy groups 001 and 002 have disappeared, and now the person in charge of the ghost story "Human" is 003.

So 002 from the strategy team is working as the first mate on a cruise ship?
If 002 is the first mate, then 001 must be the captain, right?
Good man, I guess the origin of the barrel man will definitely recite a poem in secret. I advise the strategy team to shake themselves up and recruit talents in all kinds of ways. Are you guys talking about "human beings" being the Whampoa Military Academy where the barrel man originated?
Yu Liang was madly complaining in his mind. He could already imagine how difficult it would be for these two members of the strategy team. If they were already controlled by the barrel man's root...

To some extent, he also understood why the barrel man's origin was so difficult to deal with.

"That's right, Mr. 002. You also think our first mate's name is strange, right? But he is a very good person. You will know when you meet him later."

Yu Liang turned to look at Li Huachao, as if he wanted to see if Li Huachao knew about this. However, Li Huachao just spread his hands, indicating that he had never heard of this first mate.

This cruise ship is very large and is divided into many areas. There are actually several so-called first mates, but he couldn't recognize them all. The ship that was loaned to him was not 002.

Yu Liang could only express his helplessness about this. He finally understood that Li Huachao must not have done much to investigate the situation of the cruise ship during the time he was on the cruise ship. This guy must have been thinking about winning the cruise ship with Lu Baoshen, and ended up gambling himself into becoming a clam girl.

At this time, the blood-soaked cuckoo on Li Xiang's back suddenly started to scream and even spoke to Yu Liang: "It's so warm and comfortable. Mr. Yu, do you want to try it too?"

Yu Liang heard the sound of the cuckoo and turned to look at the blood dripping from his feathers. The cuckoo's pair of black eyes were staring straight at him, and he also understood the meaning of this gaze.

I can see you.

This seems to be a little different from the original story about the night heron, because the night heron in the zoo will not interact with him at all. It is an extremely self-centered weird creature.

No, the word "self" cannot be used to describe the character of this strange creature, because under normal circumstances, this bird has no way of contacting himself in the current time and space.

The cuckoo is a bird from the future. It will only react to you when you participate in its timeline. This is the case with Lu Xing (the first person to die) who was targeted by the cuckoo in the past. Lao Du is the cause of the cuckoo, so he can also be attacked by the cuckoo.

That being said...

Am I already involved in the timeline of the Cuckoo?
Or maybe it was my action of saving the night heron that was the reason for my involvement now?
Yu Liang was silent for a moment. He did not respond to the words of the cuckoo. He knew that this strange story was somewhat different from the cuckoo strange stories he knew.

"Kid, you can clearly see me, why don't you respond to me?" The cuckoo bird grinned, picking up a thin piece of meat from Li Xiang's back. An unreasonable amount of blood flowed out of its mouth, making the smile even more terrifying. "So you were such a shy child in the past?"

Yu Liang looked at the bird, but still didn't understand what the other party meant.

The word "child" did not come from the care of an elder, but more like a sarcastic tone of "child, you are invincible", which made Yu Liang a little puzzled.

What’s going on? This bird is in the present and the future at the same time. Judging from the word “past” it said, it is the “Yu Liang” who knows the future?
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Yu Liang tried to think for a long time but still couldn't find anything to say. In the end, he could only ask two philosophical questions.

"It's so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold..." The cuckoo shuddered all over and ignored Yu Liang's question. Instead, it drilled deeper into Li Xiang's body, as if it was stimulated by the cold.

Seeing that the cuckoo bird immediately turned its back on him, Yu Liang felt helpless. His abnormality was soon discovered by Li Huachao, who scratched his head and poked Yu Liang with his arm: "What's wrong? Who are you talking to?"

"Nothing." Yu Liang shook his head and didn't speak to Li Huachao.

The entire cruise ship is very strange. Now he can only believe the paper figures in his own [universe]. Other people, including Li Huachao, may be fake.

Although he didn't know why this Li Huachao was also bound to the character card in his own [Universe], he was now in a half-crazy, half-insane, and neither real nor fake state.

The cuckoo made a laughing sound again, lay back comfortably in its human nest, and fell into a sound sleep.

Soon, after walking through a long corridor, Yu Liang arrived at the captain's room. At the door of the captain's room, he met one of the first mates on the ship, Mr. 002.

"Hello, Mr. Yu Liang. After drifting on the sea, you finally found the base camp. Yes, this is the city of hope for all mankind." 002's face was filled with a satisfied smile. After shaking hands with Yu Liang, he introduced himself, "I am 002, the first mate of this ship. You can call me whatever you want. As you can see, I am an easy-going person."

Yeah, he does look quite easy-going, the only question is why does he look so much like a magician?
Yu Liang looked at this guy's eyebrows and eyes. The degree of similarity made him feel like "seeing a magician in a trance".

According to the previous statement of the Raiders team, Magic was once a candidate for the "Raiders" and is currently the highest-ranking Raiders candidate in history.

But he still failed, so the entire strategy team is now actually in the form of "Yu Liang", but now this 002...

Is the version not updated yet bro?

"Well, hello, first mate, I'm here to discuss with you about escorting the cruise ship. I have a two-masted sailing ship. It's not very big, but it has a sufficient number of heavy machine guns to help resist the invasion of the barrel people." Yu Liang briefly stated his purpose. He did not rush to ask for a quote, but just threw the question to the first mate.

The first mate nodded and replied, "Okay, I believe Li Xiang has already made a basic assessment of your ship. Now he will take over the transaction with the captain. We will give you a quote soon."

Li Xiang walked to the captain's desk, turned the computer around, and then respectfully asked the captain: "Captain, the C1008 rescue was successful. We received a two-masted sailing ship at sea. After identification, it was found that the sailing ship has a certain armed force and can carry about people under extreme conditions. It has the ability to be a guard ship."

The computer screen lit up slightly, and instructions appeared almost the moment Li Xiang finished listening to his report.

"The price of the escort ship is 3000 barrels per day. The crew members on board will enjoy the treatment of second-class crew members, and the captain will enjoy the treatment of second mate. The total number of people will not exceed 11."

Li Xiang turned around and looked at Yu Liang, showing the treatment given on the computer screen: "The treatment given by our captain is as shown on the screen."

Yu Liang noticed that Li Xiang's lips had turned slightly pale, probably because he had lost too much blood from the injury caused by the cuckoo, but he still carried out his task in a serious manner.

Is the Captain a computer?

Or does the captain live in the computer?
Yu Liang had a strange sense of déjà vu. Why did everything here look so similar...

What is his plan in some cases?

The captain lives in a computer. Could it be that his true self is some kind of root mystery?

For example, a desktop pet?
At present, he only knows that two strange incidents occurred on the ship, one is the "vegetative man" and the other is the "cuckoo bird". This is exactly the same as the experience of a certain writer, and it is absolutely impossible not to have associations.

Next, the first mate came forward to draft the contract, and Yu Liang used the artificial intelligence in his glasses to eliminate the possibility of traps in the contract, so he signed the contract very readily.

After the contract was signed, the first mate wrote a check for 30000 barrel coins as an advance payment for the escort ship's wages for ten days, and asked Yu Liang to go to the Finance Department to exchange it when the time was right, or to have the crew deliver it to him after he had secured his room.

"By the way, Mr. 002, I heard that you raise birds, right? My captain, Mr. Yu Liang, is also a bird lover. Can we go to your room to see your birds?" Li Huachao predicted Yu Liang's thoughts and asked the first mate.

Yu Liang was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "Well, I'm a little curious about the bird you raise."

"Of course, Mr. Yu Liang, we are partners now." The first mate did not refuse. After saying goodbye to the captain, he took Yu Liang to the first mate's office on the same corridor. This office seemed to be shared by three first mates. It was very large and was divided in the middle by a simple partition like a curtain.

In the middle office area, a birdcage covered with black cloth was hung next to the ventilation window. As if sensing someone coming in, the bird in the cage chirped twice.

"Oh? It doesn't like daytime and usually sleeps there. It seems like it likes you quite a bit." The First Mate 002 smiled and walked towards his birdcage.

At this time, the cuckoo inside the crew member Li Xiang behind Yu Liang said leisurely: "I suggest you don't open the birdcage. You will find that I am not inside. Then congratulations, you have successfully cracked the strange story. You will obtain the extremely rare and powerful [Howling Cold] stamp. The price is to lose a little cutie like me who came from the future forever."

Yu Liang: "..."

"Forget it, Mr. First Mate. Since it doesn't like light, don't move it. Birds are fragile little lives." He could naturally hear the sarcasm in the tone of the cuckoo, so he quickly stopped the first mate.

Indeed, when the mystery of the cuckoo is solved, this cuckoo from the future will disappear on the spot, and it is obvious that it knows something, and the value of this information far exceeds the now useless [Howling Cold] seal.

"You are as smart as that damn barrel man, brother." The cuckoo bird said with a grin, "But you have to tie him up tightly. He can no longer influence you, but you can influence him. Don't confuse cause and effect."

Yu Liang was still watching the first mate's actions, but his pupils shrank unconsciously when he heard the voice behind him.

Bucket man.

Is that the barrel man Yu Liang?
He seemed to know where the barrel man Yu Liang was hiding. This was indeed a place where the barrel man's roots could never be found.

The future, this guy is hiding in the future.

Now Yu Liang knew why the cuckoo said that the "Yu Liang" in the past was a little shy, because the barrel man Yu Liang was definitely influenced by the barrel man and his temperament changed drastically.

However, even though his temperament changed drastically, he still maintained his IQ and conveyed the message to him through the cuckoo, an "invincible creature" that originally came from the future.

Now I have tied up the barrel man Yu Liang. Does this mean that people will be bound by their own "past"?

Binding also represents the logic of cause and effect. This is what Yu Liang did to the Moon Steward. He gave Him the logic of existence connected by cause and effect.

At this moment, the same applies.
